I was planning since some time to study BCA / MCA correspondence or regular course. And I was always postponing it. Today I enrolled at some courses in Udemy.com and it was great. It was just not great, it was greatest.
I am enrolling more courses and doing more CS hacking form now on.
Everyday more than 5 hours for Udemy.com.
Life now simply looks good and rocks.
Linus Torvalds, Linux’s creator, doesn’t make speeches anymore. But, what he does do, and he did again at Open Source Summit Europe in Lyon France is have public conversations with his friend Dirk Hohndel, VMware’s Chief Open Source Officer. In this keynote discussion, Torvalds revealed that he doesn’t think he’s a programmer anymore.
So what does the person everyone thinks of as a programmer’s programmer do instead? Torvalds explained:
“I don’t know coding at all anymore. Most of the code I write is in my e-mails. So somebody sends me a patch … I [reply with] pseudo code. I’m so used to editing patches now I sometimes edit patches and send out the patch without having ever tested it. I literally wrote it in the mail and say, ‘I think this is how it should be done,’ but this is what I do, I am not a programmer.”
So, Hohndel asked, “What is your job?” Torvalds replied, “I read and write a lot of email. My job really is, in the end, is to say ‘no.’ Somebody has to say ‘no’ to [this patch or that pull request]. And because developers know that if they do something that I’ll say ‘no’ to, they do a better job of writing the code.”

MS Power User reports on the results of a 2,300-employee experiment by Microsoft with a four-day work week:
In August this year, Microsoft Japan ran an experiment where for one month they had a 3 day weekend, taking Friday off. This was paid leave and did not impact the worker’s usual vacation allocation.Some results were predictable. Workers were happier and took 25.4 percent fewer days off during the month. There were also savings from spending less time at work. 23.1 percent less electricity was used and 58.7 percent fewer pages were printed. More importantly from a bottom-line standpoint, however, productivity went up 39.9%, as fewer and shorter meetings were held, often virtually rather than in person.

The ultimate goal of all forms of marketing is a return on investment (ROI).
In digital marketing, this means securing a profitable return from your website, paid ads, or other internet marketing campaign.
The symbiotic goals of measuring and quantifying this return should be something that your business and marketing team hold in equally high regard. Whether you are responsible for your company’s marketing or you are working with an agency, it’s important to monitor the campaign’s progress with quantifiable goals.
Quantifying ROI in digital marketing
KPIs (key performance indicators) are a type of performance measurement, often evaluating the success of an activity such as digital marketing. You’ll want to identify your website KPIs before you jump in to your strategy.The ability to easily quantify and attribute the source of your return on investment is critical. After all, how will you replicate success if you don’t know how you achieved it? KPIs help you market smarter, not harder, and guide you in determining where to invest your time and money.
ROI metrics will vary based on the nature of the business and the campaign, and your KPIs. For some businesses, that ROI may be search engine ranking and brand exposure; for others it may converting website visitors into customers. It could even be as simple as purchases of a product or a service.
